Lee was recently asked by uDiscover Music if he ever envisioned Rush music being used in a theatrical production.

In fact, the bassist says there are a few examples in which the adaptation could be seamless.

"I've always thought that Rush's music really lent itself to theatrical reproduction, especially the concept albums such as 2112, or more recently Clockwork Angels," he said. "I think would be fantastic opportunities to orchestrate the music a little bit more, get into a whole different kind of presentation."

"But visually, they're quite striking, the stories have a lot of potential in terms of staging and imaginative scenery. I think they really are tailor-made for that, so I would love to see that happen sometime."

Rush last performed in 2015. While it wasn't explicit at the time, Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson have confirmed since that Rush's career as a live band is over, and drummer Neil Peart is essentially retired from his instrument altogether.

Lifeson himself recently asserted that he's at peace with his Rush career being over. He's perfectly content occupying his time with studio work, and he says he has no desire to tour anymore.
